Requires the annual report to disclose for each investigation: the EBSA office that opened it, the date it was opened, the date document requests were first made, and whether it was concluded within 36 months of the initial document request.
Requires disclosure of reasons and an estimated conclusion date for any investigation not concluded within 36 months of the initial document request.
